Problem: What the Buddha Taught (cont.): The Noble Truth of the Cause of Suffering and the Theory of Dependent Origination
Guiding Questions: How does dukkha arise? What does the doctrine of "Dependent Origination" have to do with the Second Noble Truth? At what two links in the causal chain does the Buddha recommend we intervene in order to end or alleviate suffering (i.e., which two causes of suffering does the Buddha focus our attention upon?)? What do these terms mean: "avijja" (Pali) / "avidya" (Sanskrit) and "ta?ha" (Pali) / "t?´??a" (Sanskrit)?
